Application filed July 18, 1889. Serial No. 317,904- (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY B. LEACH, of Boston. in the county of Suffolkand State of Massachusetts, have IDXQHCGCI a certain new and usefulImprovement in Safety-Razors, of which the following, takenin connectionwith the accompanying drawings, is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a IO safety-razor frame with adetachable handle,

said handle being adapted to hold the razorframe firmly during theoperation of shaving, but arranged insuch form that it can be easilydetached when necessary. I attain this object by the mechanism shown inthe accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective View ofthe razor complete. Fig. 2 is a plan of the underside. Fig. 3 is a planof the under side with the handle removed. Fig. 1 is a vertical section.Fig. 5 is a view showing a modification of the handle.

Referring to the drawings, A 13, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, show the blade andrazor-frame.

A shows the clips; A the guard.

C, Fig. 1., shows the detachable handle.

O, Figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4., is a projection on the back of the frame.

H, Fig. 1, shows the clamping device.

E E, Fig. 5, shows a modification.

The back B of the frame B has a space of sufficient width to hold theprojection C.

The handle O is provided with an indentation D. The shank or projectionO has a shoulder 17 and an indentation D. The handle G can be attachedto the frame by simply forcing it onto the shank or projection C and upto the shoulder b. The indentation D is forced into the indentation D,as shown in the vertical section, Fig. 4E, and holds it very firmly,although it can be removed by applying a little pressure. The handlecannot revolve when in position on the frame. The

blade is held to the frame by clips A and a suitable clamping devicebearing upon the back of the blade.

In the construction shown in Fig. 5 the indentations E E are made in theform of a bayonet-point.

I claim-- In a safety-razor, the combination of a frame, with its bladeA, guard, clips, and clamping device, a projection O, with itsindentation D, and handle 0, with the indentation D, substantially asdescribed, and for the purpose set forth.
